6 Things I Miss About Windows Vista in Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| As I go through the daily grind on my trusty Thinkpad,  I once in a while 
| notice quirks in Linux Mint / Ubuntu that makes me miss certain small but 
| important conveniences from Windows Vista.  I’ve been taking notes, and 
| here’s my list.   
| 
|    1. Too many reboots. I distinctly remember being able to use Windows Vista 
|    for 1 to 2 weeks without ever having to shut down my notebook. The Suspend 
|    feature worked great.  On Linux Mint / Ubuntu, I probably reboot every two 
|    to three days because of the screen going totally blank or my notebook 
|    becoming unresponsive.  And the most irritating experience is when I come 
|    back from lunch to find my notebook had rebooted by itself.     
|    2. Slowdown in graphics.  I honestly believe better graphics makes for a 
|    more pleasant and easy-to-use operating system, Linux included.  But 
|    related to my first point, I notice I have to restart my computer or at 
|    least GNOME a few times in a week because Compiz starts slowing down.  
|    Whatever the cause for this is, I never had this problem in Windows.

11 reasons to use Linux instead of Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| Run thousands of great pieces of software that only run on Linux. 
| Just like Windows, Linux has software that doesn't run on Windows.
| Great pieces of software like Amarok, Bluefish, Neverball, Gnumeric,
| K3B, Beryl, gdesklets, and MythTV.  I know this is a chicken-and-egg
| point, where Windows has the exact same situation. Too often I hear
| "I can't switch to Linux because it doesn?t run [insert Windows
| software]".  My reason for pointing it out is just to make it clear
| that this is a two-way street.
